The DMI Shearwelder is our economical choice for wide strip coil end joining. This machine is capable of handling strip up to .625" thick and up to 85" wide. This semi-automatic shearwelder is specifically designed for applications where the coils are either too thick or too wide to be conveniently welded manually.

DMI SHEARWELDER EXCLUSIVE FEATURES:

The DMI series Shearwelders are machines that butt weld two (2) coil ends together by using either TIG, MIG, PLASMA, or LASER welding. The DMI series machines are designed for use on either start/stop or continuous lines such as:

These machines are used on a wide range of weldable alloys including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Depending on the process line requirement, the weld can be used as a transport weld, being removed at the exit end of the line, or it can be used for coil buildup. Butt welds created using this machine are usually nearly as strong as the parent material.

These machines can shear and butt weld material ranging from about 0.060" (1.50mm) up to about 1" (25mm) thick, and as wide as necessary. Recent machines have been used for strip up to 86" (2,150mm) wide. Any weldable material can be used on these machines. Since the coil ends must be flat for proper operation of these machines, the use of a flattener is normally recommended.
